I'd be able to afford a lot of stuff I'm doing without.

I'd still have the exact same collection that I have today, except I'd likely have been able to afford the Wagner cards missing from a few of my sets.

I know this thread started as another complaint about people liking to collect T206's, and other sets not getting the air time they so richly deserve, but I think it's an intriguing question.

It's interesting that in this card fantasy, nothing replaced the T206's back in 1909. ATC just waited a couple of years and created T205's as their first set?

How about some scenarios that include some reality? If ATC had skipped T206 and waited, what would their first major set have looked like? Would whoever had the T205 design idea had his set created a year or two earlier, only huger, with perhaps some action shots for the major leaguers? Would things have stalled out and T205 and T207 ended up being much smaller sets, more in line with some of the caramel sets?

Fact is T206 was an amazing groundbreaking set! The art was great. The players were great. America was really in love with baseball. The time was ripe and it happened and started the hobby. I don't get anyone being jealous of the attention T206s receive.

It's a fact that T206 broke no ground.
